Fallout Fan Creates Neat Set of Vault-Tec Playing Cards

Highlights

• Fallout fan creates themed playing cards, tied to the franchise’s renewed popularity thanks to the TV show.
• Unique designs feature Vault Boy as face cards, Ace explaining the SPECIAL system, and a back with vault doors.
• Creator plans more themed card sets, with ideas for Nuka-Cola & game-specific decks.

A talented Fallout fan online has created an awesome set of playing cards based on the franchise, featuring a bunch of iconic designs from the series. Fallout is continuing its renewed level of interest in the public eye in the wake of the successful TV show.

Thanks to the Fallout TV show, more eyes are on the franchise than ever. New viewers are getting into the games for the first time, while long-time fans of the franchise have a renewed interest in revisiting the older titles. This has naturally led to a massive rise in fan creations based on the Fallout franchise over the last few months, and some of them have been incredible. Just recently, one gamer created an impressive Fallout-themed Game Boy Advance SP, which is an interesting crossover, to say the least.

Redditor Vynrah shared the fantastic Fallout fan creation, which depicts a regular set of cards with several unique designs based on Bethesda’s post-nuclear franchise. The Vault Boy design is a perfect stand-in for the Jack, Queen, and King in this Vault-Tec set of cards, and the Ace even has information about Fallout‘s SPECIAL system. They’re perfectly on theme, with the back of each card featuring two vault doors in an impressive, intricate design. According to the user, they were specifically designed to feel like they could exist in-universe, and it’s definitely easy to imagine these cards lying on a table in Fallout 4, just waiting to be picked up.

Vynrah confirmed that they would love to make an entire series of these cards, floating ideas such as a Nuka-Cola Fallout set, or even one themed around each individual game in the series. Several players in the thread asked whether Vynrah was open to creating more replica sets to sell, and they did appear open to the proposition.

With Fallout back in the public eye, more attention is being drawn to the fact that a new mainline game in the franchise seems to still be extremely far away. Fallout 76 was released in 2018, but to get an authentic single-player RPG from the series, players have to go back to Fallout 4 in 2015. With The Elder Scrolls 6 still to release, getting a new Fallout in the 2020s feels like a pipe dream. There’s good news in this regard, however. Because of Fallout‘s new popularity in the mainstream, it seems that Bethesda wants to release games at a quicker rate, which could fast-track a new iteration of the franchise, whether that’s at Bethesda or somewhere else.
